Software
Software applications like Java, Perl, Matlab, R, Python, PHP, Blast, Qiime are installed and supported on the cluster. In addition to these, Version 9.4 of SAS is currently available for MSPH users.
Please note that there are some packages that may not be appropriate for use on the cluster, or some may not install due to software or hardware incompatibilities.
Data Storage
HPC users are allocated a standard amount of data storage for file and data used for computing purposes. Storage allocation is based on the number of users in a department:
|
Memory |
# Users in Department |
|---|---|
|
200 GB |
1-10 |
|
400 GB |
11-20 |
|
600 GB |
21-30 etc. |
If an MPSH user or group of users needs additional storage they can purchase it at a minimal cost. Please contact HPC office for more information about the rates and setup.
Tech Support
MSPH-HPC office provides support to members of the School of Public Health on how to access, navigate through and use the cluster to run analysis using various tools. We work closely with individual clients to determine each project's requirements and design a custom solution that encompasses storage requirement, software environment and automation of tasks.
Members who need support using the cluster can send an email to ry111@cumc.columbia.edu with the full description of the issue including the submitted script and any errors that may appear.
